When will the DX return? The sun is letting us know.

When been near the bottom of the 11 year solar cycle and DX last year and this year in the 11 meter band has been terrible but there are signs things are making a turn for the better. We’re starting to see sunspots as part of the latest cycle that are leading specialists to believe we’re finally on the upswing.
